The break-up of the Mogul Empire first gave the companies -I751-] GEORGE II. 563 of European traders a chance of profiting- by the anarchy in India to aspire to share its sovereignty with the native rulers. The first European to see this was a Frenchman. Dupleix, governor of Pondicherri, perceived that by setting ?ji?! Ix S one prince against another, he might take a lead- ing part in Indian affairs. He grasped that India was not a nation but a continent, and that immense differences in rel...igion, language, civilization, and race kept the various peoples of the peninsula hopelessly apart. He soon also realized that the more warlike of the tractable and intelligent races of India might, if officered and disciplined by Europeans, become such good soldiers that they could easily defeat the ill-disciplined armies trained after the native fashion. Hence it was not impossible with Indian gold and Indian arms for a mere handful of Europeans to dominate millions of Hindus. In these visions Dupleix saw the whole future history of India, though in the long run it was not his country that was to demonstrate the practicability of his ambitions.
